Racism is alive and well, but it's not why Trump is president: The U.S. in 2017 is still a country that has deep problems with racism. Black families have less wealth than white families, black Americans are less educated than other demographics, and black Americans still suffer discrimination in the workplace. Racism influences how people interact, work, and vote.
But as the primary lens to view the 2016 election, it’s complicated at best, and largely incomplete.
According to the data, the electorate in 2016 was less racist than it was in 2012 – and this includes less racism from Republicans, and it includes the fact that the coalition that voted for Barack Obama was much more racist than the one that voted for Hillary Clinton.
